In this paper, the excitation energy and radiative transition probabilities are calculated for 2p3/2-2s1/2 transition in W65+ through W71+ ions, by using GRASP92 package based on the multi-configuration Dirac-Fock method. The present calculations are compared with other theoretical and experimental results [Podpaly et al. 2009 Phys. Rev. A 80 052504], and they are in good agreement each other. Furthermore, the total cross section and the magnetic sublevels cross section for the 2s1/2-2p3/2 excitation in W65+ through W71+ ions as well as the polarization of resulting transitional lines are calculated, with a fully relativistic distorted-wave method. Based on the calculation, the variations of the excitation cross sections and polarization with the increase of incident electron energy are discussed systematically.
